Found this at a local recycling establishment and decided to take matters into my own hands....
I suspect it's a late 80s Raleigh Road Ace - the shot in seatstays and sloping crown in particular look right. Frame no. is WA5008360 so that's Raleigh Worksop/Nottingham isn't it? Dropouts are Gipiemme which matches, as do all the brazings. It's been resprayed of course.
Weight is 1930g frame, 720g forks, it's a largish 59cm c-t/57cmc-c
Any confirmation/correction from the Raleigh experts welcome! I'm intending to sell it as too big for me.
Flickr link here, more pics if that helps
